Botany Bonanza at Chimney Rock

Hike Leader: Ben Snyder, High Desert Chapter VP
Gather at the Chimney Rock trailhead on the Crooked River (blm.gov/visit/chimney-rock-trail) at 9am, departing up the trail at 9:15am for this native plant field trip. The hike begins near the river and winds about 700ft up to the top of the bluffs. About 3 miles round trip, we'll be walking at a relaxed pace. The group will hopefully be checking out Lomatiums, Ribes, Sedum, Salvia, Woodsia, and the abundant sagebrush buttercups among many other wonderful plants. Wear your favorite hiking footwear. Bring water and snacks, we’ll be taking a break at the eponymous pillar of basalt.
Join this classic spring hike with your fellow plant lovers!
